Hi Guys, I have just checked the card revision and its QFC9 - Rev 6A.2. I wonder if this is compatible with 3.5" floppies or not ? Thanks. Regards, James Thomson Magic Audio Co. The Studio West Hampstead London NW2 3RJ U.K.

Hi Guys, I have a spare QFC-9 card for the CMI and I was wondering what version is the 3.5" " mini floppy " version which was originally updated for the MFX-2 ? Do any of you know the revision number of the 3.5" floppy compatible QFC-9 card? If I have the right card I am going to

Strangely enough, I've got rev. 2 channel cards in my IIx, which was the last IIx that Fairlight built. Tim James Thomson wrote: > > Hi Tim, > > I am sure some of the guys here would have the skill to update a Rev > 1 card to a Rev 4. Is it not simply a case of physically looking

Hi Guys, I thought it would be good to bring the subject of the CMI 11X ExtOdy USB solution up again ! The following was posted by JB Edmond a few months ago. Nothing has been said about this development since. Firsty, let me say that I will gladly pay 760 euros for this signific

How do you open the case of the music keyboard? I want to get inside to clean the backs of the keys which are quite dirty and I can't reach it with the vacuum attachments I have unless it's open. I also thought it might be a good idea to see if any dust has accumulated inside and

I do have a mix of channel cards in mine, rev 2/3/4 I believe. There are definitely differences in sound and I do believe this can screw up the page 7 settings for a sound. For instance CP80 loaded straight from disk sounds really weird at first. When I go into page 7 and fiddle

As I continue weeding through my disk collection, I came across an unlabeled disk that apparently contains QDOS 5.07, but it seems to be a different version than I already have. This version of QDOS 5.07 starts up with: IO/2.24/K QDOS 5.07 : The different thing being the "IO/2.24

I may as well start here... I'm in the market for a Series III. I haven't really decided what revision machine I'm looking for yet, so I'm interested in hearing about anything that's out there. I'm in the US, near Milwaukee. If anyone is looking for any other classic gear in exch

Hi Jerry - I *might* have some spare nibs for the pens here, but I'll have to dig through the stash to find out for sure. If you don't hear back from me in a few days, drop me a line and nag me a little. Tim Jerry wrote: Does anybody ahve any idea on what can be used to replace t

James, I have Rev. 4a cards ( with SSM 2045 chips ) in my IIx. According to the inspection stickers on all the cards, they were installed May 18, 1985. I don\u2019t have any other info, unfortunately. Regards, Daniel On 1/13/04 11:22 AM, "James Thomson" wrote: Hi Guys, From what

Hi Tim, I am sure some of the guys here would have the skill to update a Rev 1 card to a Rev 4. Is it not simply a case of physically looking at both cards? What rev channel cards are in your CMI 11x ? In the 11X I have setup here I have 2 X rev 3 and 6 X rev 2 cards. I would lik

Hi James - Although I've never messed with this, I would have to speculate that it's not something that could be easily done. The SSM and Curtis chips aren't direct replacements for each other. Of course, I guess that *anything* is possible... Tim James Thomson wrote: Hi Guys, Fr

Hi, Are there any actual pics of the breakout box anywhere ? This must be quite a rare card to have. Regards, James Thomson Magic Audio Co. The Studio West Hampstead London NW2 3RJ U.K. On 12/1/04 8:50 pm, "Tim Curtis" wrote: > Hi- > > I'd be very interestred in what you come up

Hi Guys, From what I understand the CMI 11X had 4 different revision channel cards made for it. Rev 1 Curtis Filter chip Rev 2 Curtis Filter chip Rev 3 SSM Filter chip Rev 4 SSM Filter chip I would like to hear from other owners what the actual differences are. I understand that

Hi- I'd be very interestred in what you come up with. I've had this board here for many years and have never used it, lacking the breakout box. All that I do know is that Syco Systems made this card and that it's purpose is to generate clocks to use with other, pre-midi instrumen

Hi Greg - You're correct - they're labeled so on the back of the board. 4 CMI-31 Channel Cards and 5 CMI-39 Waveforem Memory Cards. If I get a chance I'll get a pic of the Motherboard for anyone who's interested. Tim Greg Holmes wrote: > Tim, > > Peter Wielk on his Web site, http

Hi Hermann, Yes,this is a very common problem with old screens. Many CMI 11X systems will have the same screen fault. There is a lamanent material which was put inside the screen as a coating. Over the years this will slowly bubble and peel. I am looking into seeing if it is poss

Thank you Frank and Rob. I siad pliers sort of tongue in cheek....I'd never do that but wasn't sure if you could do it from the outside or if you did need to go into the keyboard itself to do this. No, I've never opened up the music keyboard...only the alpha keyboard and the main

I totally agree with Frank here - I recently replaced some lights and found that removing the keyboard cover, removing the pitchwheel controller assembly, and then unscrewing the housing from the buttons was much less stressful than trying to go in "from the outside". The bonus t
